Alex was a LIFESAVER. She was amazing with our puppy. We had booked with her for our wedding day and she went above and beyond. She got to our house on time and was able to bring our dog to and from the venue for pictures with no questions asked. We will definitely be using her for our puppy anytime we need a sitter.

Heather was AMAZING. My older dog is very unsure with new people and she did great with him. She kept us update every day and made my wife and I very comfortable that our puppies were in great hands! She will be our first option if we need someone in the future!

Cassidy was fantastic! Our dog Sam absolutely loved her. She communicated several times per day for the entire visit including numerous pictures and videos of our boy playing and snuggling. He was a very happy boy upon our return so I know he enjoyed her company. Also- the house was spotless when we returned and she left us a lovely note. We recommend her highly!!

This was the first time Megan watched our little dog, Santi, and we would definitely hire her again! She was very detail oriented, carefully following care instructions to continue consistent schedule and training practices. She provided meticulous notes and cute photos summarizing their days. Megan was respectful of our house, and went above and beyond leaving the house ready for us when we got back. Highly recommend Megan’s services!

4 years of experience

About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family for 4 years now with up to 3 dogs at a time. I have also spent summers cat sitting long term for a family with 4 cats. I am a student athlete at Roger Williams University. My afternoons are scheduled to be free so I’m available most afternoons and now weekends during the off season. I like to best care for the fur babies by giving them the most at home experience. Whatever is routine for the animals and comfortable from the owners, is the best way I like to care for them. Lots of petting and playing is also given in excess when I care for fur babies.

I have worked with and developed a relationship with Lexi for the past 5 years, and I have come to know her as one of the most caring and loving people in my life. She puts 110% effort into every aspect of her job and personal life. I have never seen her turn down a challenge or give up on something that is important to her. Along with working together, we volunteer together at an animal shelter, and I have never seen her smile bigger than when she is taking care of and socializing the animals. Watching her interact with animals is so pure and you can see the love she has for everything and everyone. Lexi will be an amazing and responsible caregiver for all animals, and I have no doubt that she will be a tremendous asset to the Rover team.

I had Kimberly stay over and watch my two small Pomeranians. She is super friendly and professional, and very trustworthy which is very important if someone is staying in your home. I am definitely using her services again. The dogs looked like they had more fun with her than with me on a daily basis. Highly recommend!!
